As a florist and event decorator I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Tessa and her team for a number of years now. We have a great working relationship and it is alway fantastic working with KG. They are definitely a high end event company and have a relaxed approach and the CAN DO attitude. My only regret is I didnt know about them for my own wedding ! Looking forward to many many more events together.😊

I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with Kissing Gate Events in a styled Wedding photoshoot. I had the fun task of styling both the Bride and grooms hair ready for the event. All in all it was such a wonderful day. Tessa did a fabulous job in organising everything and bringing everybody within the industry together. It all looked so incredibly beautiful and was so much fun. It was a great experience, I highly recommend Kissing Gate and would definitely love to do it again! 🤍

I have seen several Kissing Gate events now from the perspective of a hired musician, from corporate functions to weddings, and they are always top tier. The presentation is immaculate, everything seems flawlessly arranged and they're always styled absolutely beautifully. The staff are incredibly polite and helpful and ensure everything runs smoothly. There really is nothing to mark down. A solid 5 star experience each time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We approached Tessa to help plan our Yr 6 Leavers party. With a restricted budget Tessa not only planned every detail of the event but offered us a very reasonable rate, as was able to slot us in between larger events, providing the children with a sophisticated, yet age appropriate night of fun under the pole tent. Food and drinks were included as well as lawn activities and a very loud sound system! The grounds at West Hill Park provided the perfect space for 70+ exuberant 11 year olds, who we

I worked with Tess on a large corporate party for 600 people back in July. The setting of West Hill School was just perfect with loads of space and great facilities. Tess and her team transformed the space with their stretch tents and bars and we bought in all the inflatables, entertainment and activities. Together we created a cool festival environment for the guests and helped by gorgeous weather, the event was a huge success! Tess and her team went above and beyond to ensure guests were happy

Tessa and the wonderful team at Kissing Gate Events made our day truly magical. They created a totally stunning setting for us in the grounds of Boundary Oak School. Every detail was to the highest standard and Tessa knew exactly how to recreate our thoughts and wishes. It was fantastic to be able to leave all the planning and setting up to the team. We just had a great feeling from our very first contact, that everything and everyone would be taken care of. We had such fun.
